If the AAA Corp's (15-year convertible) bonds were $1,000 one year ago, and the stock was selling for $25 at that time, then one of those bonds was equivalent to S(0) units of stock, where S(0) = 1000/25 = 40 So if you as an investor bought one of those bonds a year ago it was, at that time, equivalent to 40 units of stock at the going market price. a) If an investor opted to buy a bond for £1,000 rather than stock a year ago at the going...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/practical-financial-management-6th-edition-475074Mon, 2 Mar 2015 23:54:51 PSTPractical Financial Management 6th Edition (Textbook) Valuation –...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/practical-financial-management-6th-edition-475074

Diversification that business enterprises undertake are their way to reduce risk. The look to spread out risk with different products, services, or with a focus on different markets. Consequently, if business is slow in one product or service area, or even marketplace, they can weather the storm so-to-speak because they have other products and services, and other markets that can sustain them until business picks up in the other areas...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/give-least-two-theories-diversification-such-474984Mon, 2 Mar 2015 17:57:17 PSTThe value of a “work package” varies greatly depending upon the type...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/doing-work-package-grueling-work-there-tendency-475062
The value of a “work package” varies greatly depending upon the type of business, scale of activity, and complexity of the project. The concept of a work package is simple; the execution can be daunting. Any business decision requires the accumulation and assessment of information relevant to the undertaking. Again, depending upon the type and scale of project, the amount and type of information required to make an informed decision and...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/doing-work-package-grueling-work-there-tendency-475062Mon, 2 Mar 2015 16:45:41 PSTDoing WORK PACKAGE is "grueling work", and there is a tendency to avoid...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/doing-work-package-grueling-work-there-tendency-475062
Doing WORK PACKAGE is "grueling work", and there is a tendency to avoid it. Look closely at the output of a work package. Lets discuss the value of the information gathered for a work package, and the process of gathering the information. Do you think doing this is over-kill? Can a project be successful with or without it? Can you do project control effectively with or without work packages?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/doing-work-package-grueling-work-there-tendency-475062#2March 2, 2015, 1:20 pm PSTOne could safely conclude that a project manager who is disengaged from...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/think-that-pm-lack-awareness-process-hidden-474985
One could safely conclude that a project manager who is disengaged from or ignorant of process constitutes a “hidden killer.” In fact, one could safely remove the “hidden” part of the label and simply substitute “project,” as the odds of a successful outcome under such circumstances would not be very good. The whole point of designating a project manager is to establish a single point of failure should the process – which...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/think-that-pm-lack-awareness-process-hidden-474985Sat, 28 Feb 2015 03:23:37 PSTIn the business world, diversification occurs when a firm tries to enter...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-diversification-business-world-whats-its-474983
In the business world, diversification occurs when a firm tries to enter a new market with a new product or service. The firm is diversifying because it is adding to the range of markets in which it competes. The firm typically hopes to make itself more profitable and more secure by diversifying. Related diversification occurs when the new market that the firm enters is in some way connected to the firm’s existing strengths. For example,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-diversification-business-world-whats-its-474983Sat, 28 Feb 2015 01:44:31 PSTI think that for a PM, the lack of awareness of process is a "hidden...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/think-that-pm-lack-awareness-process-hidden-474985

A firm’s resources might limit its search for opportunities when “deficiencies” in its resources preclude it from pursuing them. The following are two examples of how this can happen: 1. Lack of cash flow It is important for a business enterprise to have a healthy flow of cash. That is, its inflow of cash must consistently be greater than its outflow of cash. A healthy cash flow enables a business to invest in programs it deems will be...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-might-firms-resources-limit-its-search-474961Fri, 27 Feb 2015 17:50:51 PSTHow might a firm’s resources limit its search for opportunities?

Work Breakdown Structures are beneficial because they help organize projects into sizable chunks for teams to work on. This form of organization helps with budget development and allocation because it helps determine the amount of work and time allocated to each team and its members. Any problems arising can quickly be traced and information about how they impact other levels of the project can be determined. It is difficult to achieve success...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/do-you-think-work-breakdown-structures-important-474929Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:23:53 PSTDo you think Work Breakdown Structures are important to building a...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/do-you-think-work-breakdown-structures-important-474929
Do you think Work Breakdown Structures are important to building a successful project plan? Do you think a project can be successful without a documented WBS? To back up your opinion, I would like you to describe from your work experiences ONE of the following: 1. A particularly good or bad experience on a project where a WBS (or lack of one) had a major impact. 2. A particularly effective or unique method for creating a WBS you have seen or...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/do-you-think-work-breakdown-structures-important-474929#7February 26, 2015, 1:36 pm PSTChristine gets $40,000 in Year 1 and $40,000 in Year 2 as endowment.

Christine gets $40,000 in Year 1 and $40,000 in Year 2 as endowment. It is assumed she gets the two amounts at the start of the year and her expenses are also made at the start of the year. In the first year she consumes $28,000. This leaves $40,000 - $28,000 = $12000. The $12,000 that she does not consume can increase by 5%, which is the real interest rate, if deposited. This increases the amount to $12,600 by the start of the second year. At...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/assume-that-christine-has-an-endowment-40-000-year-474917Thu, 26 Feb 2015 04:35:05 PST
